Acceptable practice? Spawn Camping
Spawn camping is more of a WvW thing…
If you are getting spawn camped in PvP your opponents must have all three capture points and winning by 200+ points – that is the only time I have really seen it happen and by then the match is essentially over
I think it’s absolutely acceptable but it rarely happens because it’s hard to sustain.
All maps have 2 exits.
In hotjoin it could be problematic.
This happens a lot in higher level PvP. A lot of times if there is a wipe in mid, teams will spawn camp the enemy team so they can’t get to the points without wasting most of their cooldowns. This is especially strong on Temple because while there are technically two exits to the base, they both come out in the same general area. I think it’s annoying, but I don’t think people should be attacked for doing this. Don’t hate the playa, hate the game. Don’t get wiped in mid and it’s not an issue.
Message me any time in game.
It’s a competitive environment, you don’t let up and give people openings to take away your advantage.

If someone lets him, a LB ranger can pretty effectively spawncamp on Kyhlo, you can cover both entrances easily.
Unless the ranger blows his cooldowns though, you can at least get away with damage taken. It’s pretty kitten hard to successfully get up to the Capture point though.
It’s pretty weak however, because it’s really easy to sneak up behind somebody standing on the platform where you need to be, and they’re really really obvious.
One of the reasons people get spawn camped is because people don’t fully regroup after wiping, but again against unorganized teams or pugs this doesn’t really happen. An organized team will do this by fully regrouping and if you have a thief or a class that can stealth out of the spawn you can push out as a team through two exits. Sometimes a necro/engi/pretty much anything on the road is better to pick off before they get to a point. With unorganized teams and PuGs it is understandable, but with an organized team that fails to regroup then it a lesson to learn through time. Sure it is an nasty tactic, but game mode is a conquest mode, so anything to deny them point control will come into play.
